Hey Comics!

Do you have a joke that you know is funny but you just can’t get it to work? There’s something a little off? It just doesn’t feel right? Then call the Doctor.

Hi, I’m Jennie McNulty and I can help you. I’ve been a working, professional stand up for over 20 years and I know how to make things funny. I’ve helped countless friends “fix” their jokes and now I can help you. I can show you how to make your joke funnier. And, more importantly, give you the tips that will help you fix your own jokes in the future.

I do personal consultations either via Skype Video Conferencing or in person. I also offer 5 week comedy classes all taught LIVE ONLINE via Skype Video Conferencing for more intensive study. Please, visit my “Testimonials” page to see what others have to say. And then give the Dr. a call – your act will feel better right away!

You know you’re funny…

This unique course will teach you how to bring your own comedic perspective to the stage and have you performing your own material in just 5 weeks.

5 WEEK ONLINE STAND UP WRITING WORKSHOP SERIES

NEXT SESSION STARTSMONDAY JAN 28th

7 PM EST and PST

Conducted ENTIRELY ONLINE through video conferencing (Skype), this workshop will take you from a blank page to a short set in just 5 weeks. You will learn how to find your material and your point of view; how to craft clever, well-written jokes for the comedy stage; how to deal with hecklers; how to market yourself and other insightful advice from a professional comic The New England Blade called, “One of the premiere comedians in the country.”

Each student will also get a 30 minute private session via phone or video if desired.

The video conferencing format enables each student to visually interact with everyone else all from the privacy of their own home. The final week of class will have both instruction and a “mock stand up show” with online performances by all the students.

You can only learn how to do stand up by…well, doing stand up. But, you need good material to perform. And, that’s where these writing workshops come in. In just 5 weeks you will have a set about which you can be confident to take to the stage and start (or advance) your stand up career.

This course has also been extremely helpful for BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS. The basic comedy rules apply and I show you how to use them to make your corporate presentations engaging and memorable. Finding your own comedic voice will make you a unique and popular speaker.

Private

PRIVATE SESSIONS:

A private session of approximately 90 minutes via Skype is available for working comics or those with at least some previous experience (including mine or other classes). We can work on specific material or ideas; jokes that need “punching up;” getting out of a writer’s block or general coaching on performance or delivery.

Contact me to set up an appointment. The individual sessions are also done on Skype, however, if you live in the Los Angeles area, they can, in some cases, be done in person.
